Re: WHO WINS? Anthony Joshua vs. Hughie Fury
Hughie is a decent boxer but doesn't have the physicality to trouble AJ. and I don't see it coming in 3, 4 or even 5 years. this is a pity as he has a lot of talent

Re: Kostya Tszyu
2nd tier light welter for me - a really hurtful right hand elevates him to a level the rest of his boxing perhaps doesn't deserve (i'm speaking of the pantheon of true greatness here)
however - he was always great to watch and his destructions of Judah, Mitchell were very good

Re: Middleweight: Chris Pyatt vs. Michael Watson
Watson outpoints chris although pyatt looks to win the early rounds - runs out of gas, gets outboxed

Re: Who would be the last man you would get in a ring with?
Literally every man who has ever laced on a pair of gloves would be tied for first place. Most of them would probably make me cry during the ring instructions. Many would kill me, although I'm certain some of them would feel bad about doing so. If I had actual skills, I would avoid the Fritzie Zivi...

Re: Robert De Niro actually had four professional fights, Um?
for a front line Hollywood actor to get in the ring to prepare for a role he would have to be massively protected. there is too much that might go wrong and cost the studios hundreds of thousands of dollars to put right
